FIRE-FIGHTING DESIGN BASIS REPORT

GREENFIELD PROJECT FOR AJC, WINE AND VINEGAR

CLIENT: - HPMC- PARALA.

The Basics
In the design process, these typical fire-protection system goals are on the table for consideration:

 Saving lives.
 Saving property.
 Preserving business continuity.

It all depends on how a building is used and occupied. A warehouse or storage facility, for example, will
have different fire-protection requirements than a multi-tenant office building.

While no standard fire-protection design blueprint exists for any two buildings, the systems found in any
building typically include these basic components:

 Detection.
 Alarms and notification.
 Suppression.

All components of modern fire-protection systems need to work together to effectively detect, contain, control, and/or
extinguish a fire in its early stages - and to survive during the fire. To achieve the most beneficial symbiosis between these
components, it’s best to involve an experienced system designer, such as a fire-protection engineer, in the early stages of the
planning and design process.
* OBJECTIVE:
The function of the Fire Detection and Protection System is to ensure reliable and efficient Fire Detection and
Protection facilities in the occupancy.
 In order to mitigate the occurrence and spread of fire.
 Providing protection and safety for operating personnel and dumped materials

 Early detection and warning of fire, so as to minimize the damage and consequential losses resulting from the fire.
The above requirements will be met by optimum selections of Fire Protection System devices and by adequate Fire
Detection and early warning measures. The system is designed in compliance with the recommendation guidelines of
Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) and the relevant norms of IS Standard the objective of this report is as follows:
 Identify the risk / hazardous areas and determine the type of Fire Protection and Detection System for various
areas.
 Determine and recommend basic system features and equipment parameters
 Describe the system features and operation. 5

 Indicating the requirements of fire water pumps and storage tank for the proposed occupancy

8.0 PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Types of Extinguishers

Now that you have a basic understanding of the various types of fire and why different extinguishers are
necessary, 6 main types of fire extinguishers and their uses will be discussed:

1. ABC POWDER FIRE EXTINGUISHER

An ABC powder fire extinguisher has numerous advantages as it is a multi-purpose extinguisher and is therefore one of
the most common extinguishers to have on hand.

A powder extinguisher sprays a very fine chemical powder composed most commonly of monoammonium phosphate.
This acts to blanket the fire and suffocate it.

Powder extinguishers are effective for class A, B and C fires, since it is not an electrical conductor and since it can
effectively break the chain reaction in a liquid or gas fire, something a water extinguisher cannot do.

2. CARBON DIOXIDE FIRE EXTINGUISHER

A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher (CO2) is one of the cleanest types of extinguishers to use as it leaves no residue and
requires no cleanup.

The CO2 extinguisher does exactly that – extinguishes CO2. By doing so, it removes oxygen from the fire, effectively
suffocating it of oxygen. It is perfect for use on class B fires that involve flammable liquids and on electrical fires.

3. WET CHEMICAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER

The wet chemical extinguisher is a specialized type primarily focused on class K fires, those involving cooking media
such as animal and vegetable fats or oils.

These extinguishers contain a solution composed of potassium that effectively launches a two-pronged assault on fires.

First, the liquid mist it sprays acts to cool the fire. Second, due to the chemical reaction of the solution with the cooking
medium, a thick soap-like substance forms, sealing the surface of the liquid to prevent re-ignition.

The wet chemical extinguisher, then, is ideal for a kitchen setting and class K fires. However, it can also be effective for
class A fires where a material such as wood or paper has caught fire.

4. WATER MIST FIRE EXTINGUISHER

The most versatile of the set, the water mist extinguisher, uses a newer technology that works across most classes of
fire.

This type of extinguisher releases microscopic water molecules that fight the fire on a variety of levels. First, because
so much water is dispersed in such a microscopic fog-like form, the level of oxygen in the air is decreased, which helps
to suffocate the fire.

Second, the water particles are drawn to the fire and, as water always does, acts to cool it, reducing the temperature.

Finally, and perhaps what is most unique about the water mist extinguishers, is that the water has been de-ionized (the
minerals have been removed). As a result, it can actually be used on electrical fires, as the de-ionized water will not act
as a conductor, as well as on burning liquids/gases that a standard water extinguisher could not be applied to.

Thus, a water mist extinguisher is safe and effective for use on classes A, B, C and K fires.
5. FOAM FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Foam fire extinguishers are suitable for class A and the flammable liquids of class B, though not effective for gaseous
fires.

They spray a type of foam that expands when it hits the air and blankets the fire. This blanket prevents the vapors from
rising off the liquid to feed the fire, thus starving it of fuel. Also, because the foam is mixed with water, it has a cooling
effect as well.

Foam extinguishers are some of the best for liquid fires, such as gasoline fires, but can also be used on Class A fires
involving solid combustibles like wood.

6. CLEAN AGENT FIRE EXTINGUISHER

A clean agent fire extinguisher is a type of gaseous fire suppression. Stored in its liquid form, when it is sprayed and hits
the air, it converts to its gas form which is non-conductive, safe for use while humans are present, leaves no residue,
and has a very short atmospheric lifetime, making it eco-friendly.

The gas, often composed of Halon, extinguishes fire by reducing the oxygen levels and impeding the chain reaction.
Because it is non-conductive and so clean, it is ideal for rooms or businesses filled with electrical and computer
equipment. They are most commonly used for class B and C fires.

The portable fire extinguishers shall be provided as per NFPA 10, standards for portable fire extinguishers. However,
additional fire extinguishers shall be provided as per requirement of local Fire Services.
